John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch is one of those unclassifiable, delightful projects that makes you almost forgive Netflix for giving up on One Day At A Time. Or Tuca & Bertie. Or GLOW, Dear White People, or the Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot. You know what—screw you, Netflix. But, anyway, John Mulaney & The…

Stepping into what mustt have been the most awkward conversation held between a band and their drummer since the last time a band was forced to have a conversation with its drummer, a judge has blocked Joey Kramer’s legal efforts to force Aerosmith to let him play with them at the Grammys this weekend. Per Deadline, a…

Although they regularly performed and collaborated together throughout their long careers, the members of Monty Python actually operated, for the most part, as a set of discrete writing teams. As revealed in any number of sources—including the troupe’s own official oral history, Monty Python Speaks!—Graham Chapman…

A tremor spread through the converted basements of America tonight, shaking “MAN-CAVE” signs from their moorings, and knocking many an artfully arranged beer bottle off the shelf where they stand next to all the other beer bottles that were up there. For lo, the trades are reporting the news that must, by the will of…

Since his inception in 2018, the internet, and the city of Philadelphia, have fallen in full-throated love with Gritty, the orange-haired dirtbag monster who represents the city’s NHL team, the Flyers, in the all-important mascot stakes. A googly-eyed Rorschach test with an appearance best described as “discount bin…

It’s that time yet again, folks: The regular update from the bookers of Saturday Night Live, revealing which guest hosts we’ll be rooting for or against in the coming weeks, as well as which musical guests we’ll be planning our Saturday night bathroom visits around. This time, we’ve got two names for the first half of…

Whoopi Goldberg’s inclusion on Star Trek: The Next Generation was famously a labor of self-directed love; when the series’ producers were told, ahead of their second season, that one of the planet’s most successful and beloved comedians/movie stars was practically begging to be in their struggling syndicated space…

Sean Durkin’s been working primarily as a producer since making a splash with Martha Marcy May Marlene, the affecting, cult-centric indie that helped launch the career of Elizabeth Olsen. That’s about to change, though, as the filmmaker will debut The Nest this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival and, as Dea…

Part of the hypnotic draw of iconic Star Wars villain Darth Vader is his deep voice, supplied by the gravelly timber of legendary actor James Earl Jones, along with what sounds like the kind of breathing apparatus that would be attached to an iron lung. But what, YouTube’s SeinPop Official supposes, if Darth Vader…

A massive brawl erupted between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University on Tuesday night, with both teams flooding the court to throw fists and bring back memories of that 2004 Pacers-Pistons debacle. In the aftermath, Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa was suspended indefinitely for his role, and it’s likely…

Art restoration doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, the work in question is simply cleaned up and left looking pretty much the same as it was before anything was done to it. In other cases, the restoration process ends up doing something a lot more drastic—like, say, turning a fresco of Jesus Christ into a…

While we’ve been enjoying a current renaissance of rock-star biopics, thanks to the successes of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, there’s one artist whose personal rags-to-riches story you won’t see playing out on the big screen any time soon: Sting.

Now that she’s reached the ripe old age of 30, Taylor Swift appears ready to take a stand about things.

Some days, the 9-to-5 creeps along slower than usual. If that’s the case, why not pass the time with a text-based adventure RPG that whisks you to the exotic, fantastical world of...surviving your probationary period at a new, white-collar hell office.

If you get a sense of déjà vu while watching this new trailer for The Lodge, it’s because you’ve definitely seen a trailer for The Lodge before.

Billy Eichner is taking on his most challenging role yet—which isn’t a knock on his talents, but we imagine anyone might find it challenging to play Matt Drudge, as Eichner will on American Crime Story: Impeachment. Per Deadline, Eichner has signed on to reunite with Ryan Murphy for the third installment of the…

Hulu’s High Fidelity adaptation will once again reimagine Nick Hornby’s classic novel of music and heartbreak: where the 2000 film starring John Cusack transplanted the aesthetic snobbery to Chicago, the new series from Veronica West and Sarah Kucserka sets the story in contemporary (and gentrified) Brooklyn. There…

Last year, Saturday Night Live head writer and Weekend Update co-host Michael Che publicly harassed critic Steven Hyden, an A.V. Club alum, after Hyden penned a mildly critical article about Che’s SNL colleague, Colin Jost. Via his Instagram Stories, the comedian’s preferred mode of response, Che called Hyden a “regula…

Baby Yoda, as much as his stubborn internet ubiquity tempts us to believe otherwise, is a marvel of heart-melting puppet design.
